Let’s understand how and why this process takes place.
Hair fall and hormonal changes during pregnancy and postpartum
Normally you lose hair in small amounts every day. During pregnancy, your hormone levels including estrogen, progesterone, oxytocin, and prolactin increase dramatically. The effect is compounded by increased blood volume and circulation, which causes your hair to fall out less than normal.
Sleepless nights, crying baby and added stress become factors that lead to an increase in postpartum hair loss. The medical term for postpartum hair loss is telogen effluvium, also referred to as postpartum alopecia.
Immediately after delivery, hormone levels drop quickly and it results in sudden hair loss. So, the normal hair fall that was delayed during pregnancy may fall out all at on

Also, homeopathic medicines are prescribed only after your homeopathic doctor evaluates the problem and your case in depth. The treatment is administered after a carefully evaluated study of the patient’s case history taking into account the nature of the disease, the temperament, the sensitivities, etc.
In a study conducted to prove the efficacy of homeopathic treatment for hair loss, it has been found that the recurrence rate of hair loss in patches was just 9.1 per cent in patients treated with homeopathy, whereas it was as high as 50 per cent in patients who took conventional treatment for it.
